This type of measurements greatly benefits from the use of the new generation segmented gamma-ray detectors, such as the AGATA demonstrator which offers unprecedented energy and angular resolutions. In order to make an optimized choice of the material and the thickness of the degrader for lifetime measurements using the RODS method after MNT, an experiment has been performed with the AGATA demonstrator. Counting rate measurements for different degraders are presented.", optnote="WOS:000338348900001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1829), last updated on Thu, 31 Jul 2014 14:34:26 +0000", issn="0168-9002", doi="10.1016/j.nima.2014.05.016", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2014.05.016", language="English" }
